Abstract

A sensitive and simple method for the simultaneous determination of nutritionally important minerals in food samples is in great demand. Ion chromatography coupled with UV-vis detection is shown to be an appropriate technique for this objective. The method is based on the formation of mineral complexes by pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid in the mobile phase. The complexes are then postcolumn derivatized with 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol (PAR), resulting in mineral-PAR complexes that are detected by UV-vis absorption at 500 nm. This facilitates the simultaneous separation and quantification of minerals in one chromatographic run. Within 16 min, Cu, Ni, Zn, Co, Mn, and Fe are analyzed. When a 50 microL injection volume is used, the average detection limit is 5 ppb in the injection liquid. The detection limit makes it a superior alternative to AAS and, in several applications, also an alternative to ICP-MS techniques. Different sample treatments were evaluated. The concentration of acid in the treated sample varied with the sample treatment, which may cause a limitation for the injection volume. A crucial prerequisite to achieve the reported detection limits and to obtain reliable results is to completely exclude all contamination from instruments and materials.
